BTN+

Not for me. I watched (tried to watch) 2 women's games and two men's games.
1st women's game ended the feed before the game was over.
2nd one froze as bad as the men's game
1st men's game started late
2nd men's game, well we all know what happened there.

If I order a product I expect to receive what I ordered. If I promise to do a job, I deliver 100% and expect 100% compensation.

If you're willing to accept mediocrity or less, then that's your prerogative. Don't know why you feel the need to get all superior on the rest of us.

What is this "high horse" or "superior" stuff all about? By that logic you must be saying you are "superior" because you expect 100% delivery and reliability.

I guess I just see it differently. If I pay $10 for 4 or 5 games and one of them is unreliable that isn't gonna bother me. You can get your money back and choose not to watch if you wish to.

Thanks. You are fortunate that you have been able to see other games. For some reason I've had trouble with every single one this season.

I don't expect high quality resolution video, but I'd at least like to be able to watch the entire games. And I couldn't.

I'm guessing that is probably on your internet providers end if it happens every game for you. I was wondering during the game Sunday if it was my provider, but I saw the systemic issues and then knew it was on BTN's end.

Go back and read your posts. Your opinion on the matter is fine. You acting like everyone else's opinion is below yours is the reason for the high horse comments.

I'd pay $10 a month to watch the PTL - I just wanna see the team. I am unhappy with the product just like everyone else - i think it's crap that it doesn't work and I am paying for it, but grand scheme of things? I get it - i could have nothing cause if it isn't on BTN+ it's not gonna be anywhere. I also understand that internet streams are dodgy... cable TV can go out too ya know - or satellite - It's not 100% guaranteed that you are going to get the product you paid for - that's likely also in the terms of agreement contract that you click on when you sign up. I am also positive that they offer refunds for services not provided even tho, again, I am sure they probably aren't legally obligated to.

I would pay way more than 10 bucks if I had to. I would rather pay 100 for the games and have good quality than 10 for what I got. I'm thankful for the people who took the time to complain. Maybe we will all get better quality next time because of them.

I think it's more like ordering that $10 steak and they bring you a plate of SPAM...and you really want to eat it anyway, but they keep taking it off your table for 5-10 minutes at a time. Finally, you give up and settle for listening to someone describe a steak to you.

I laughed REALLY hard at this! Bravo!
 
I highly doubt they don't show the games because they won't make money on them. BTN has a woman's Penn State game instead of the Iowa game today.
 
yeah - worked great this week - started on time - no hiccups at all. I would pay double for what we've had so far - but that's just me

I would pay quadruple and let then kick me in the nuts before every game if it would work like it did yesterday.
 
I've got 30M down and disconnected everything but my Roku last night. Video still looked and sounded like my first Nokia flip phone. It's the shit feed, not internet bandwidth. I cut the cord and went to PS Vue a few months ago, and I get 720p (channels don't broadcast at 1080) with 60 fps on Fox, ESPN, BTN, and the NBC app. Buttery smooth.

You would think Student U would be able to at least have a high def camera to use. I'm cool with it being the center court pivot thing and and actually like not having commercials, but HD should be a no-brainer in 2016.

Sorry Fryguy, but it wasn't the feed. My stream was perfect, and when I say perfect I mean not one blip, hiccup, or pixilation at all.

In the 3 or 4 years that I have gotten the BTN+, last game was the first bad deed I have had.

yup me too - it's always worked - I'm not saying it's unbelievable picture or presentation - but good enough to watch and certainly work $10.

I didn't have any blips either. People were talking about the bad resolution and picture quality possibly being due to bandwidth. It's a less than SD feed with 24 fps and super shitty compressed audio. That's why it looks and sounds bad, not the internet connection.
